RE: MD: Re: Recording speeds
I would imagine that it is hardware dependent as there is no real digital audio standard from the USB's point of view. It wouldn't be of any AES/EBU or S/PDIF standard, that is for sure.

The context of this discussion is, paraphrased, moving music from computers to MD equipment faster than S/PDIF. S/PDIF doesn't do that (obviously :). AES/EBU doesn't do that. TTL doesn't do that (maybe it could, but that would be very ugly). IR controllers don't do that. PCx controllers don't do that. Line out doesn't do that. The -- singular -- standard for this is IEEE 1394. I'm missing something, why can't USB do that? In the realm of PC to Solid State MP3 player connectivity at least, USB is certainly the standard.

I'm too tired to quite figure out what 4x recording speed would require, but I could imagine that it'd be more than USB can give. - ask -- ask bjoern hansen, http://ask.netcetera.dk/ !try; do(); - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Re: Recording speeds
it probably can, but Firewire has all of the stuff in place. but then again so do USB CD-R's its probably a bit different going to solid state MP3 players since all your doing is dumping a file, here you would need to turn the mp3 audio into a viable digital source(like the PCLink or Xitel stuff does through sound card type api's) then the digital source goes into the MD player which converts it to ATRAC and writes it to disc. marc On Sun, Jun 17, 2001 at 05:51:01AM -0400, Eric Woudenberg, Minidisc.org Editor wrote: The -- singular -- standard for this is IEEE 1394.

Sorry, I was assuming (as with the Sony MDS-LSA1), that it was to be ATRAC data flowing over the link. In this case, existing USB drivers and components that transport 44.1khz 16bit PCM data would do equally well transporting ATRAC1 at up to 4.8x realtime and ATRAC3 at up to ~20x realtime -- probably limited by MD drive write speed in any case. (This means that a 5 minute LP4 song download could be done in some 15 seconds!). So -- I like firewire too, but how does it do as a keyboard and mouse interface?
